Edith Makra, director of Environmental Initiatives for the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, based in Chicago, presents a certificate to Montgomery Village president Matt Brolley at the Montgomery Village Board meeting Monday. The certificate proclaims Montgomery is the 100th municipality to pass a resolution to endorse the consensus goals of the Greenest Region Compact to enhance the quality of life for residents and protect the environment and strive for sustainable economic vitality. The Montgomery Village Board unanimously voted to approve. The Mayors Caucus develops consensus positions on a broad range of key issues facing the Chicago region and is a strong advocate for their adoption at the federal, state, and local levels of government.
